Years are warm

It was probably a coincidence that there was an exchange meeting between the experiment and the No. [-] Middle School science experiment on the day of the school sports meeting.Naturally, Xu Huai'an's liberal arts class had nothing to do with it, and the location was set in Zhiyuan Building, so they didn't see anyone from the beginning.

The third year of high school doesn't need to go in the phalanx, except for the athletes, they can go later, but the longer the time, the easier it seems to be lost.Not far downstairs, Li Siyuan suddenly slapped her head and said that she forgot to take the paper clip for the number plate, but as the monitor of her class, she still had to go to count the number of people, and it would be troublesome if she came late.

Xu Huaian glanced at the time and said, "Where did you put it? I'll get it for you, you go first."

"It's on the table." Li Siyuan put her hands together and stuck out her tongue, "Then please, I'm leaving!"

As he said that, he took the bag and ran to the track and field.

Xu Huaian chuckled and shook his head, then went back to get his things.

Unexpectedly, when I came down, I happened to bump into the students who were experimenting. Logically, it was on the Zhiyuan Building, so I should have entered through the east gate, so I wouldn't have come here.

After all, who is free to run around other people's schools?

The girl's short hair is shoulder-length, and she looks very delicate and shy. She seemed to be standing nervously at the door, and whispered, "That... classmate? How can I get to Zhiyuan Building?"

This face actually looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

Xu Huaian turned sideways, pointed to the sign behind her and said, "Go straight down the stairs, the second building next to the auditorium is there. If you can't find it, you can look at the signs nearby, there are many signposts in the middle."

The girl pursed her lower lip and thanked her softly.

Xu Huai'an glanced at her, nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the person behind him calling her again.

"Hey! Can you... can you wait a moment?"

She turned around as she said, with a little doubt in her eyes.

What does this person want to do?

Maybe it was because she didn't have any expression on her face, or maybe she was afraid that she would be impatient, the girl clenched her lower lip and said in a low voice, "I...can I ask your name?"

Xu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, something flashed in her mind, she couldn't help but look at this person twice, and reported his name in a good-tempered manner.

"Student, is there anything else you need?"

As soon as these words came out, she could clearly see that the look in the other party's eyes dimmed instantly.

Like a little disappointed?But... why are you disappointed?

"It's nothing..." The girl took a deep breath, raised her head and smiled at her, "Thank you, Xu Huai'an."

This is the second time I thank you. In fact, I just pointed out the way, there is no such need.Xu Huai'an responded, but he didn't want to ask her any more questions, so he turned his head and went downstairs without looking back.

The girl stared at her back until she could no longer see her.

"What's the matter with you, Tongtong!" Suddenly someone rushed out from the corner and patted her on the shoulder anxiously, "Didn't you say you wanted to come to her? Why did we meet again..."

"Did you see the bulletin board downstairs?" She interrupted suddenly.

The friend was taken aback for a moment, scratched his head inexplicably, and said, "I saw it, what's the matter?"

"She doesn't remember me...Actually, I expected it. The gap between the two of us is too big." She shook her head with a wry smile, paused before continuing, "Even...even if I tell her now, I Called Jiang Ruantong, you helped me before, then what?"

"Huh? Well, then you said you want to know her and be friends with her?"

"But is she short of friends?" Jiang Ruantong just smiled, "No. I know."

She still remembered that time, when the girl across the road called Xu Huai'an, the smile on her face.

That is the appearance that others will not have.

She knew that girl was called Xie Zhiyao, knew how good she was, and knew that she was good enough to stand by Xu Huaian's side.So... At least for now, she is not qualified to say that sentence - I want to be friends with you.

"Let's go."

Then... wait, wait until she continues chasing forward, until she is as good as that girl named Xie Zhiyao, and can be qualified to stand in front of the other party and say that sentence that has been prepared countless times in her heart That sentence - hello, I'm Jiang Ruantong.

It's just that these words were buried in a certain corner, and no one else knew about them.

When Xu Huaian walked to the edge of the laboratory building, his footsteps stopped, and he suddenly groaned.

That person...is it the girl who was surrounded by people last time?She suddenly remembered the scene at that time, but it was a long time ago, and she is not very good at remembering faces, so she is not sure.But if it is... it seems to make sense?

She couldn't help but look back.

Naturally, the teaching building can no longer be seen from this angle, only the large branches and leaves of the sycamore tree can be seen.

never mind.Xu Huaian pursed his lower lip, but didn't bother with it.

When they arrived at the track and field, the phalanx had already left, Xie Zhiyao supported his face, and seeing her late arrival, he couldn't help asking.

"Why so slow?"

"Help you get the paper clips." Xu Huaian put the things aside, walked two steps to sit next to her, "then bumped into the experimenter and asked for directions."

"Ask for directions? Is it okay if I get lost and get to Duxing Building?"

She turned her face sideways, thought for two seconds, and explained the general situation and her later guess.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly and keenly noticed that the air pressure of the people beside her seemed to be a little lower.

Xie Zhiyao stared at her for a long time, and suddenly said: "How long have you remembered?"

Xu Huai'an was taken aback when he heard the words, but didn't react for a moment.

Tsk, what's the matter with this inexplicable sour smell?Li Siyuan, who was going to look for them, narrowed her eyes, and turned around wisely to look for Zhang Xin in the next class.

She should avoid getting involved in the affairs of these two people, so as not to be sour.

Xu Huaian blinked, and simply sat cross-legged on the steps and looked up at her.Her eyebrows and eyes are actually soft, and it's inexplicably cute to look at people like this.

Xie Zhiyao was still a little sour at first, but he lost his breath looking at this face, he just pretended to grunt twice and stretched out his hand to pinch her face, muttering softly, "How attractive is your face?"

... Then you can't blame her?Can she still decide what she will look like after birth?Xu Huai'an slandered a few words, but somehow he let her lick his face with guilt.

Forget it, she'll be happy.

The long-distance running event is in the afternoon as usual.

The autumn sun is not too strong, but it is quite disturbing.

"Okay?" Xie Zhiyao turned around and winked at her after pinning the number cloth, not forgetting to remind her.

"Don't forget, let's run with peace of mind." Xu Huai'an raised his hand and tapped her forehead, with a big smile in his eyes.

The stadium was noisy, but the sound of the starting gun was obvious.

The wind blew the hair of the young girls on the runway, and on the steps outside the runway, there were the voices of classmates shouting.

Is it two laps long?Long, every physical test makes everyone complain.

But it is also very short, so short that the first athlete to cross the line was less than 3 minutes away from the starting gun.

If it was said that Xie Zhiyao lost her balance and fell into Xu Huaian's arms last year, then this time, she rushed over by herself.

Xu Huai'an was dragged by inertia and took two steps back before standing still. She held water in one hand and wrapped her arms around Xie Zhiyao's waist.

"What are you doing? I can't run, you're covered in sweat."

It sounded like she was disgusting something, but in fact she couldn't hold back her laughter, and her arms were firmly attached to the clothes around her waist.

Xie Zhiyao was still panting for breath, she wrapped her arms around Xu Huai'an's neck, she was obviously very tired, but she still hummed twice and lowered her head to rub against the girl's shoulder.

"I don't care. Hold me even if you are sweaty. Don't let me go."

Her answer was a chuckle from the girl in her ear.

There were a few girls in the same class around who were going to come over to hand tissues and water, but when they saw the appearance, they all folded back consciously.

They stood on the edge of the runway, the scorching sun fell beside them, and they breathed each other's breath.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Xie Zhiyao let go of his hand when the male 1000-meter athlete ran past.

Xu Huaian handed her the water and looked into her eyes quietly.

Xie Zhiyao screwed on the lid after drinking the water, pursed his lower lip, put away his smile and spoke seriously.

"Don't go back yet? I have something to tell you."

Xu Huaian's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered.

"it is good."

The sycamore leaves rustled with the wind, and the coolness brought by the autumn wind quickly dissipated with the sunshine. The dead leaves swirled in the air, and a trail of fallen leaves was laid out in the blink of an eye.

It seems that even the hustle and bustle of the track and field has gone away together.

"What do you want to say?" Xu Huai'an stopped at the edge of the forest near Xiaoximen after walking slowly for an unknown amount of time.

This place is close to the International Department, so there are not many people in the first place, and at this time, everyone is in the track and field field, which makes the place seem even more empty.

Xie Zhiyao let go of her hand, raised his eyes and looked directly at the eyes of the girl in front of him.Xu Huai'an's pupils are darker in color. Even standing in the sun, those eyes still give people a deep and serene impression through the reflection of the sunlight, as if nothing in this world can disturb the deep pool in those eyes. At least for a long time in the past, even she thought so.

But she didn't know when it started, she suddenly found that...she could clearly see every emotional ups and downs hidden in the other's eyes.

Anger, fear, anxiety...

Joy, concern, tenderness...

And so on, without reservation.The defense and alienation from others has never existed in her.

At first, Xie Zhiyao only felt that since the two of them grew up together, there would probably never be another person in this world who held such weight in each other's hearts, so she naturally ignored other things.And then... One day, she suddenly realized belatedly that the person who could easily touch the other person's mind seemed to be none other than herself.

And finally there's that not-so-kiss kiss on the Ferris wheel.

She wasn't stupid, and she didn't need to think twice to know that this must be beyond the category of "friends".

Is there any friend like this?

surprised?some.But what if you want to stay away from fear?there has never been.

Probably because Xie Zhiyao hadn't responded for too long, Xu Huaian couldn't help but tilted his head slightly, and called her softly: "Ayao? Is there something on my face?"

"...No." Xie Zhiyao suddenly came back to her senses, she curled her lips into a smile, and asked her, "Remember what I said, can I be sure that we are thinking about the same question?"

Xu Huaian's fingertips trembled, she lowered her eyes, and hummed softly.

"remember."

Xie Zhiyao subconsciously wanted to grab her hand, but stopped abruptly. She took a deep breath and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I've found the answer I want. Then... And you?"

Xu Huaian pursed her lips tightly, she closed her eyes, clenched her hands unconsciously, and nodded with difficulty.

She promised that if she had the answer, she would tell Xie Zhiyao, but... Inevitably, she was nervous.Even though she had imagined countless possible outcomes in her mind, she was still nervous before the battle.

I don't even know how to speak.

However, just as she was thinking wildly, the girl in front of her suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Xu Huaian suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the other party's voice fell in her ears.

"I like you."

Those four simple words smashed into the bottom of my heart like a heavy hammer.

Xu Huaian's mind was in a daze, and it was rare for him to stare at the person in front of him in a daze.

The eyes of 17-year-old teenagers are always full of unstained light. They are always enthusiastic, as if the world is wide and they are omnipotent.

Xie Zhiyao burst out laughing, stretched out his hands to hold the girl's face, her fingertips brushed her cheeks, making it itchy.

"I said..." She moved closer, their foreheads touched, and their breaths seemed to be entwined, "Huai'an, I like you."

"It's not like a friend likes."
